Here's my attempt at transcribing the audio while killing a few hours on a 7:00 a.m. flight this morning:

Bayno: "He's working hard; I'm really excited. Last summer, I spent the majority of the time with Greg, and LA called me a couple of weeks ago and said, 'Hey, what are you doing? Can you come to Dallas?' And immediately I got on a plane … he's been working. I can't say enough good things about the effort that he's putting in. The majority of work we're doing is adding to his game, working on his drive game. Teams crowd him so much; I think teams are going to crowd him and push him less (this year), and just really working on creating contact, using his body. I call it inside shoulder-outside hand, where every time he's looking to make a move to the basket he should be looking to hit the defense first with his inside shoulder, get to the rim and finish with his outside hand. He's working. He's wearing me out to be quite honest with you. He hired a personal trainer, a guy that works with a couple of the (Dallas) Cowboys. He's really gotten stronger; and he's done that on his own. I think he's probably up to 260, 262 (pounds). Considerably stronger and bigger, but hasn't lost any quickness. One of the things we've been working on is improving his first step. I can't say enough good things about him. He's taking it; I'm literally beating him up. He's probably doing 100 possessions a day once we get through, where I'm just forcing him baseline, forcing him middle, forcing him to his left hand, and just really cracking him with the pads and working on getting and-ones, and just continuing to be good at creating that contact and finishing with contact. And then we get into counter moves: the one dribble, quick pull-up jumper that we worked on with Travis Outlaw for years, and he got real good at. And then spin-back moves. Where he's spinning back and still looking to get contact on the spin back, keeping his head up."

Is one of the goals to get LaMarcus to play more in the post?

Bayno: "I think it's not so much -- he plays in the post, it's just adding some more moves to that post game. It's all predicated on being physical and using his body. In the post ups, I call it ass-hips. Where he's stepping into the defense and really putting his butt and his hips on the defender to get him to either react or commit one way or the other. And then the face ups, out of the post. A lot of times LA gets it going in the post and then they double him. The counter to that is to turn and face, which usually will keep them from coming, now they're just kind of looking and maybe t digging. And then what teams do to him, normally, there is really crowd him and try to get him to shoot a fade jumper or a step-back jumper. So we're trying to add the attack game, the drive game off of his face ups as well."

What are his desires as a player? Does he have a desire to be an All-Star or top-flight player?

Bayno: "Absolutely. I think they go hand-in-hand. I don't think he would've called me up and ask me to come here if he weren't ready to continue to evolve. And I think that's an area where he's ready to evolve, is that mental aspect of taking his game to another level. He's openly talking to me, and I've encouraged him, in terms of his goals, to be an All-Star. But I think that's something that was always there. I thought last year with the contract and some of those problems earlier in the year, and some of the uncertainty … I thought this year he might have relaxed a little bit and gotten unfocused off of those goals. … I really believe that me coming here -- and we're gonna get three straight weeks of work in, five days a week, in the middle of the summer … which I think says a lot. That commitment, and especially the work that we are doing, this is grueling, taxing work. You've seen me with the pads and you know how aggressive I get and how physical I get, this isn't just coming out and working on post moves. This is game situation where he's taking a beating and a pounding and he's really giving it back to me. I think that commitment is there and its something that he's talked about, we talk about every day. He's not afraid to say that he wants to be an All-Star. I would not bet against him this year. I would place that bet on him, that he's ready to make that step, because he's putting the work in and he's adding things to his game that quite frankly I don't think the defense is going to have an answer for. They're not going to be able to crowd him this year. They're not going to be able to double team him as much, adding these face up moves to his game. He's already told me he's coming back August 30th and we're going to have the whole month of September. He's going to stay on this path and work right up through into training camp. You're talking having six or seven weeks of intense training coming into training camp and there's no doubt in my mind it's going to pay dividends."

Has he played against other NBA players this summer? Any sense why he opted not to participate in Team USA?

Bayno: "He had a baby. I think that had a lot to do with it … I think that was the biggest thing. But the fact that I'm here and we're putting this type of work in, I think is every bit as good as going to Team USA. He's going to get a bunch of work against our guys, pretty much the whole month of September. I don't know if he has been playing here in Dallas, he hasn't talked about it. But we're going hard an hour and a half every day, with very little rest and I know it's going to transfer. Most of our guys are going to be back after Labor Day, so we're going to have good runs in the (practice facility) and that's where he'll be able to work on that, going against our guys."
